Ian Wright interview video

Status
Not open for further replies.
Watched the video all the way through and have to say my opinion of the man has vastly improved. His humility through out that interview was humbling.

Always had full respect for his ability as a player. Also had the pleasure of speaking to him on a golf course briefly and he was a true gent. My wayward shot ended up on the fairway he was playing. He laughed it off and said we all need to start somewhere.

Nice one Boba,;) Dickushead approaching from the side.
 
--People, independent of how rich/poor they are may talk about hardships/deaths. Or they may not. It's their choice as to if, how, and which medium they elect to do so. And sometimes talking about such experiences publicly can create a positive message for a younger generation.
--And if one happens to be listening to this experience then one usually either sympathizes or empathizes depending on their own experiences regarding deaths/hardships or perceived deaths/hardships. This is standard prosocial behavior.

This is what this thread is about.

It is a fools errand to suggest that somehow because a rich person has experienced loss/hardships and others have empathized/sympathized with their loss/hardship, that these others are somehow at fault, or being tricked, or should feel ashamed because they have not taken into account other losses.

And of course, it doesn't matter where the sympathizers/empathizers grew up.

So simple.

Fully agree. Regardless of our financial or social status we have all suffered hardships and losses. It is how we deal with them that matters. If someone can openly talk about it and aid others by doing so then kudos to them.
